Haiti Relief | Benefit Print Sale

Posted by Daylight Books on 2010-01-21

The Haiti Relief Benefit Print Sale is organized by a group of young photographers eager to help the people affected by the earthquake in Haiti. The 23 photographers are donating their talent and creativity with a goal to raise $10,000.

Every single picture is 8x10inches and part of an edition of 10. The cost of every picture is $50 and every picture comes with a certificate of authenticity signed and numbered by the artist. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Doctors Without Borders. Due to the recent allegations against Yele Haiti Foundation, our original organization of choice, we have decided to donate the funds to Doctors Without Borders.

Trying Them On | Presented by Humble Arts Foundation and Hendershot Gallery

Posted by Daylight Books on 2010-01-20

This group exhibition explores the fascination with "the other" through gendered, sexual, racial and subcultural costuming. The exhibiting photographers depict Europeans and Westerners who glamorize and vilify other cultures, at times presenting them as the enemy, while at others declaring them a cultural muse. On the surface, the latter appears to be an attempt to understand or elevate them, but in many cases this actually leads to further complication by turning their identities into caricatures. This exhibition also explores the motivations for this role-play: is it an act of mere flattery? What does it mean to try on the skin or cultural signifiers of another?

Exhibiting photographers: Claire Beckett, Helen–Maurene Cooper, Andrea Robbins and Max Becher, and Michael Bühler-Rose

On view: January 21 – February 27, 2010
Opening reception: Thursday, January 21 – 6–8 p.m.
